A double page of pictures shows some of the most famous work of modern European masters; there is also a large full page painting by Mary Sigsbee Ker of "Young iqio" waiting on the threshold of the New Year. Seven photographs of that most popular actress, Ethel Barrymore, picture her quick rise from amateur to lead ing lady; and the music, "Gavotte Madrigal," is by Francis Thome. Octave Thariet tells the story of two lonely women in "In Place of Their Own," and Myra Kelly sur passes her own standard of gentle humor in "The Spirit of Cecelia Anne." Anne Warner's "Susan Clegg's Courting" is but one of the series she is writing for the Wom an s Jome Companion, and "Room Number Three at Three Forks Tav ern," the great detective story by Anna Katharine Green, is continu ed in this number. The articles are the kind that are talked over for weeks. "Fifteen Years With My Wife" is a leaf out of a life experience; and "Shall We Stay in the Ministry?" and "The Music Student Abroad" are earn est and truthful articles. A really delightful innovation is the page of New Year's Cards. In fact, the whole magazine begins the New Year in a manner calcu lated to more than satisfy its read ers. The regular departments are re plete with suggestions, help, and die best of obtainable ideas on the subjects of Fashion, Housekeeping, the Children, the Home, Sewing and Reading. Deafness Cannot he Cured by local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of trie mucous lining ot the lustach an Tube. When this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound ir imperfect hearing, and when it s entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube re ared to its normal condition, hear ing will be destroyed forever; nine ases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dol 'ars for any case of Deafness caused by catarrh) that cannot be :ured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. chenbv &. co., Toledo, O.

Marie Antoinette's Dooks. The unhappy Queen Maria Antoin ette possessed an important library of 4,712 volumes, consisting of plays and romances, little books a la mode, the works of Pascal, Uossuet, Fene Inn. Itourdaloue, Miisslllon, IioHeait, Co.isseau, Corneiile. Moliere, Vo'.taire and many others. She loved music passionately and had a larpe collec tion of operas in eisht.v-ninc num bers. The bindings were by lilalr.ot and were uniform In red morocco, with the arms of France and Austria stamped upon them. The execution of the work was poor nnd the decad ence in the art of binding evident. The glories of the art of Padeloup and the Deromes had passed away, nnd the revolution effectually killed whatever knowledge remained of the ancient skill of the bookbinders. Half a century later saw Its revivnl In France, and the art has since flour ished both there and on English roil. The Hen's Origin. Fassing over other interesting pheasants mention must be made of what has proven to be economically the most valuable bird on the earth to mankind the red jungle fowl. Ornithologists know it as Ciallus gal lus. and it Is indeed the "fokl of fowls"; for from it has been bred every variety of domestic poultry, game, hnngshan, Polish, Plymouth Uock, Leghorns, etc. Whether we con sider the black, tailless fowls bred in Holland, or the Japanese poultry w ith tails fifteen to twenty feet in length, nil were derived from the red jungle fowl. Remarkable as these facts are, rroof is forthcoming in the fact that if any breed of poultry be allowed to run wild, they will gradually revert to this ancestral type and after a cer tain number of generations will have reverted to typical Jungle fowl! N. Y. Post. Harmless Coffee Wanted. A number of experiments have been carried out with the object of prepar ing a caffein free product from the coffee seeds. A satisfactory result vns obtained by certain method:'' which aim nt subjecting the entire raw seeds to a procedure by menns of which the caffein salts are deeo'n posed and the seeds are rendered amenable to subsequent extraction with a volatile solvent of caffein. This procedure is at present emplo 1 in Bremen and in Mannheim, Gcn-iany. Nature has produced a plant free from cnffeln, native of Madagascar nnd Reunion, but unfit for use on ac count of its bitter principle. Graft ing experiments have not yet proved successful. The requirements in case of the artificial non-poisonous pro duct are Its almost entire harmless- ness, together with an unchanged up pearance, taste and aroma. The Penang Patrol Wagon. Writing of the local patrol waon the Penang correspondent of the Straits Times, Singapore, says: "It forcibly calls to mind at llrst sight a four wheeled baker'B cart, bar the fact that it is drawn by about the slowest pnir of bullocks in the settle ment. There is nothing grim at all about it, for it is commanded by a sleepy Malay constable perched on the box; its roof and sides are form ed of white canvas, and It has no door to close at the back, but merely an opening in which another Malay con stable half fdumbers. Two or three other constables ride Inside sitting on the benches with the prisoners, who seem to be struck with novelty of the ride to make any attempt ut escape. I should say that an escape from this prison van would bo ns easy as falling off a log." Prevent and Relieve Headache "It pves inc great pleasure to be able to refer to Dr. .Miles' Anti-rain Tills as the best rem edy we have yet bad in our bouse for the prevention nnd cure of headache. .My wife who has been a constant sulYcrer for a number of years with above complaint joins me in the hope that they may fall into the handy of all sufferers." johx r.rsir.

There is no remedy that will more quickly relieve any form of headache than Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills. The best feature of this re markable remedy is the fact that it does not derange the stomach or leave any disagreeable after effects. Druggists everywhere sell them.
